None of the vital interests of peace appear in the resolution that will be put forward before the General Assembly today and that is why Israel cannot accept it.

There is only one route to Palestinian statehood. The route runs through direct negotiations between Jerusalem and Ramallah that will lead to a secure and lasting peace.

Netanyahu: "No country can tolerate a wanton attack on its civilians." Clinton: "America's commitment to Israel's security is rock solid and unwavering."

Israel did not start this situation but Israel, like any other country, cannot allow her citizens to become a target. They are targeting our children on their way to school.

We have no interest and no ambition in conquering land but we have to stop the firing at our citizens.
